Ezekiel 29:3-5

International Children’s Bible

I am against you, king of Egypt.
    You are like a great crocodile that lies in the Nile River.
You say, “The Nile is mine.
    I made it for myself.”
⁴ But I will put hooks in your jaws.
    I will make the fish of the Nile stick to your sides.
I will pull you up out of your rivers,
    with all the fish sticking to your sides.
⁵ I will leave you in the desert.
    I will leave you and all the fish from your rivers.
You will fall on the open field.
    You will not be picked up or buried.
I have given you to the wild animals.
    And I have given you to the birds of the sky for food.
